Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III believes that criticism is part of the job of playing in the NFL.
Griffin has endured a difficult season this year in stark contrast to his first year in the league when he was voted Offensive Rookie of the Year and guided his side to the playoffs.
"You take life as it comes. Life's going to throw you curveballs sometimes. You just have got to figure out which ones to try and hit," Griffin told the Washington Post.
"Right now, it's not a burden. It's a burden if you make it a burden. You've got to believe. It only takes one person to believe so you can have success.
"I always believe in this team. I always believe in these players and so on and so on. That's what it is for me. It's not a burden."
The Redskins are 3-6 in their season going into week 11.
